Change Tap washer on the Tap Jumper.

[@aDeadDog]

Thank you so much for these videos!! Managed to keep my lovely old taps and save a few hundred quid in the process.

Hi. I've been working on a pair of Heritage Dorchester taps and the jumper on the hot tap comes out like the one in your video. However, the cold tap jumper is stuck in and only looks like it's half in/out (if that makes sense?) Just wondering if I should pry out this jumber and fit a new one? Any advice would be great. Thank you

Got one soaking in lemon juice as I type. It might be just clogged up enough with limescale (vinegar works better) to make it too tight to move. The citric acid of lemon juice, or acetic acid of vinegar, will dissolve the lime scale (an alkaline) allowing the precision parts to move without destroying the rubber washers. After about 4 hours it freed itself up enough to clean with a soft brush and carefully with an old panel pin, don't want to scratch it. remove any layers, chunks, or lumps of now soft limescale. Small brass brush, or toothbrush (best use your partners) Hot tap so I'm going with erm, baby oil, or butter to lubricate to put back together.. ;)

What kind of lubricant should be used on the tap threads? Should it be oil, or some kind of specialized grease?
